Naing Aung Mon Petitioner v. Jefferson B. Sessions, III, Attorney General of the United States of America Respondent
Naing Aung Mon, a native of Burma, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) upholding an immigration judge's (IJ's) decision to terminate a prior grant of deferral from removal under the Convention Against Torture (CAT). We lack jurisdiction, because the underlying removal order was based on the determination that Mon was removable due to his aggravated felony conviction, and he has not raised any constitutional claims or questions of law for review. See 8 U.S.C. § 1251(a)(2)(C)-(D) (criminal alien bar); Gallimore v. Holder, 715 F.3d 687, 690 (8th Cir. 2013) (applying criminal alien bar to order denying CAT deferral). The petition for review is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
PER CURIAM.
